The bypass road connecting Parse Chonsai to Mandrem, popularly known as Ajocho Vhal, has become a major cause for concern among local residents due to its deteriorated state. Over time, the bypass road has suffered from neglect, leading to potholes and cracks, which make driving treacherous for commuters. The road’s condition has resulted in several accidents, posing serious risks to the safety of road users.
The situation escalated tragically on Wednesday when a bike rider lost control of their vehicle, leading to a severe accident on this hazardous stretch. As the road has been narrowed significantly by underground cabling work, it has become increasingly difficult for vehicles to pass simultaneously, heightening the risk of collisions. Furthermore, the presence of loose gravel on the road surface has added to the dangers, causing injuries to unsuspecting motorists.
The recent accident has raised alarm bells among the local residents, who are now demanding immediate action from the authorities. The incident serves as a grim reminder of the urgency to address the road’s deteriorating condition and the need for safety improvements. The community fears that without prompt action, more accidents and injuries will continue to plague the area.
